Tech advice- data is never actually deleted on a hard drive unless they use a special data wiping software. There is a table that tracks the location of files and deleting just removes the reference to the location. There are data recovery firms that can get all the data back if you need it, but they can be expensive. Also if you send it in and they are asking you to pay, they already have the data recovered.
